Is there any reason why such a device could not be used on a train? With practically everything on trains being controlled by computers, is there no way to program a governor to kick in when the speed of the train is almost three times the speed limit? __________________ abusus non tollit usum - A right should NOT be withheld from people on the basis that some tend to abuse that right.
